So Hearn got banned
Haven't been paying much attention to the dev stuff guess I have no opinion other than dev unity seems low.
Hearn is barely a BTC dev. His important contributions are miniscule, as he mostly focused on SPV schemes to destroy trustlessness.
Actual dev unity is very high, especially after all the team building fun at the #ScalingBitcoin confab.
Gmax might complain about social strokes, but throwing Hearn (and Garzik?) under the bus had the desired salubrious clarifying effects.
It's just name recognition
Hearn is one of those devs you hear a lot about along with Gavin, Maxwell etc.
I'll believe you though Ice on unity.
